We have a lot of wild blackberries here, and because of this, blackberry jam has been a family favorite since I was very young. This is the only recipe I have found that is nearly identical to the one my grandmother used.

Very good jam. Not runny or messy, just good jam. Had many cpmpliments about it. Had to give away half of what I made and had to make a second batch.
